Paul Vincent, has worked at the OCA since 2004 writes, "So you've decided to become more creative. Congratulations. Now where do you start? Obviously, you could try the "Batman/Bruce Wayne" route, in which you disappear from your everyday life, scale a remote mountain and learn mystical arts for years before returning home a changed person."

But,

can't cancel, and you promised Jim you'd be at his wedding in April. So

2. Do a course University might seem like a pretty large commitment for many, but
there are several distance learning courses that allow students to get
feedback, interact with fellow learners, and push themselves without
giving up their jobs.

A distance learning course can be much more affordable than full-time
study. Many offer the opportunity to work in your own time, but still
ask you to take the course seriously – which means you've got to make
time to study and practice. If you're the sort of person that finds
themselves pushing their creative ambitions further and further down
their to-do list, this could give you the extra push to get going. It's
also a great opportunity to get one-to-one time with expert tutors, and
meet people with similar interests.

The Open College of the Arts, for example, offers a range of creative courses in subjects such as creative writing, drawing, graphic design, photography, music, painting and sculpture.

The Open College of the Arts offers distance-learning courses in
subjects such as fine art, photography, music, graphic design, creative
writing, sculpture and film. It is part of the University for the
